Love vs. Lust
This is a poem I created about three years ago. It's one of my favorite pieces I've ever written.
Love is the world's biggest misconception
The meaning got twisted when we were given different definitions
Ended up making faulty connections
We just went with the flow
Sat through and nodded during the lessons
What they taught wasn't enough
No one asked the vital questions
Like
What is the difference between love and lust?
What's the difference between being in love and just a crush?
Lust is on a primal level
Love though is like going toe to toe with the devil
To put it simple
Lust is just when you want attention
But love is giving someone your heart and your trust
There is no love without lust
But you can have lust with no love
And in this generation that's all they're ever thinking of
It's like backwards evolution it's all just primal instinct
Why don't we take a step back and actually try to think?
Suppose I did love
Suppose I still love
Some pose; they're in love
Some pose; they have none
Some propose; they have some
Some dread for the love they had once
It's become a nuisance
Because love is not lust
The young are in a rush
To be famous and have the spotlight
But 17 with two kids and pregnant?
That's just not right
We all want something real
But we're too worried about being fake
We hide our flaws and lie about the past so no one knows our mistakes
We all have some trust issues
That I have no doubt
But the real issue I see
Is not trusting someone that wants to show you what love is all about
